Hello, I need to improve my graphics card and processor. I currently have an I3 8100 and a GTX 1060 with 3GB of VRAM. I’m considering a setup with an RTX 2060 Super and a Ryzen 5 3600, but I can only afford one. If I choose the Ryzen 5 3600, I’d need a better CPU or a motherboard upgrade later. I think I might be able to afford the other component again soon, but what’s the best choice first? Also, which option would give higher FPS in competitive games if I buy both?

I believe the 2060 would significantly outperform the 1060 in frame rates. I’d upgrade that.

The upcoming Ryzen processors and Nvidia GPUs suggest a shifting landscape. If you intend to use ray tracing, it makes sense to buy the 3600 now (upgrades possible with a x570 board).

I probably won’t rely heavily on ray tracing, maybe sticking to Minecraft and similar games. Still, I’m aiming to improve since I’m experiencing low frame rates on some titles.

That year stands out as an excellent option, offering solid performance even with RTX included.

I share the view of @ShrimpBrime since the 3600 provides strong results. Great IPC performance, but switching platforms would be more expensive than the 2060 alone. I suggest choosing the 2060 instead, as it won<|pad|> can’t be overly hindered by the 8100.

Thanks for the support! For a strong RTX 2060, consider the RTX 3060 Ti or the newer RTX 4070.

Any brand is fine! I have two standard Gigabyte 2060 cards.

That's interesting, though I'm not sure. Are you imagining a scenario where two versions of the 2060s exist?
